Dancing will get you prone with hip replacement (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hornpipe

'dancing' is the definition.
(hornpipe is a kind of dancing)

'prone with hip replacement' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'replacement' indicates an anagram.
'prone' after 'hip' is 'hipprone'.
'hipprone' is an anagram of 'HORNPIPE'.

'will get you' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hornpipe that I've seen before include "Lively old sailors' dance" , "Lively solo dance associated with sailors" , "Obsolete instrument: naval dance" , "Lively jig" , "piece of music for an > old dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
